South Korea expects more North Korea provocations mid-October
South Korea expects more North Korea provocations mid-October:- South Korea expects North Korea to engage in more provocative action next month to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of its communist party and China’s all-important Communist Party Congress.
In a meeting with President Moon Jae-in on Thursday, national security adviser Chung Eui-yong said he expected Pyongyang to act around Oct. 10 and 18, but gave no details.
“(Chung’s report) also said there are worries over military conflict being sparked by accidental incidents,” said Park Wan-ju, lawmaker and head spokesman of the ruling Democratic Party.
“The president said the United States speaks of military and diplomatic options, but South Korea can’t go through war again.”
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have escalated in recent weeks as North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump exchange bellicose threats and insults over the North’s nuclear and missile development program.
